as always, danielle’s (literal) middle fingers at the powerful and oppressive is making me go full hearteyes

sam just embracing zelda while fully flying, suspended over the cliff-face is the most tender image???

zelda, who is is a ball of anxiety in any other situation, knowing that sam lashes out because she’s hurting. sam apologising and taking accountability for her actions. sam telling zelda how great she is, and that she should be nicer to herself! i love their dynamic!

the combat wheelchair!! carved in stone as a warrior’s monument in a dwarven temple for all to see and revere.

the chair being included because it’s as much a part of Kora Ironbrow as her muttonchops or her scimitars. this is iconic and i’m emotional about it.

ohhh “the true nature of their GED quest” in the episode description

twist episode? excited to see what lore brennan drops on the jedd quest and maybe meet the person who is too chaotic for even arthur aguefort to handle!

ah, the strains of a sea shanty drifting into my garden while everyone is isolated in lockdown. it’s quite lovely to just sit and bask for a while

erika screaming about how the vatican is WRONG and we absolutely SHOULD storm and loot it?? i’m swooning!!

erikaaaa, my beloved

‘pro-bono rules lawyer’ is a title aabriya and murph share, specifically to derail brennan’s plans

(thinking of aabriya in the latest combat episode vs murph’s use of swirlwarden in That One Ship Combat in crown of candy 🔥)

“i like a lot of things most people don’t”

my god, becca just jumping wholeheartedly into penny’s thirsty kinky energy!! beautiful and stellar

watching brennan lose all control during katya and penny’s turns is hilarious.

just being constantly heckled and rules-lawyered (with love)

obsessed with persephone’s outfit this episode!! the floral top complements her so well, plus the hair is just *chef’s kiss*

thinking about how sam’s first instinct with lola was to help her get her dog out of the lake, with no other justification than “she’s a fire genasi, water hurts her, and this is something i can do to help.”

thinking about persephone saying that sam learned how to be mean and manipulative from her mother and penelope. sam growing up under pressure and surrounded by their toxicity, learning to give as good as she gets and then even better.

sam lashing out as a survival technique, because caring hurts and people can’t hurt you if you hurt them first (even when they can). sam imitating the biggest female presences in her life, because that’s how you find yourself when you’re not on solid foundation (they’re still teenagers, god).

i love her and the way persephone embodies her. and i’m so here for the seven being there for each other through all of their traumas and struggles.

danielle giving geese the raptor stats they deserve. all geese desire chaos and to put their enemies through literal honking hell, and now these ones have the stats to match. incredibly clutch move!!

i wish emily axford was on the table with the seven, she’d be having the most chaotic fun with this group

just LOOK at the diarrhoea shenanigans and preston flirting and tell me that those 10 minutes wouldn’t be entirely up her (and fig’s!) alley

i do love how brennan gives depth and a whole fullness of life to potential one-off characters like lola embers.

she has a distinctive personality trait that might be what the character is built around, sure, but she’s also a person! who chases after her dog and respects sam’s transness and personhood! i just think it’s neat!

“if i said it in latin, would you be more okay with it? 😭😭

antiopeeeee, my beloved

ostentatia and penny immediately gravitating to riz when clues and investigations pop up is incredibly wholesome!! the “hey cutie” from ostentatia 🥺

give me riz having mutually supportive relationships with this cool girl gang!! chaotic ‘small heights big vibes’ adventures with ostentatia! sneaky research shenanigans with penny! riz riding on katya’s shoulders as she spars with fabian!! ahhhh

zelda feeling self-conscious about not being able to contribute to the skill checks at the library and choosing violence on the guard as her help action is Extremely Good

cackling out loud about antiope’s leader tattoo debacle

as someone who’s been the sober one surrounded by people tipping into the ‘making bad decisions’ phase of being drunk, it’s very familiar

zelda (and brennan tbh) just caving and calling it the “jed quest” is extremely funny to me

“that’s another one for the therapy list”

oof. same, penny, same

i wholeheartedly love danielle’s characterisation of not being grossed out or getting bad vibes from things outside the norm

it makes so much sense considering her background, her principles, and even her magic! mushrooms and fungi are the liminal beings of nature, and some of the ways they grow tend to put people off. they remind people of death and decay, and some of them look really gnarly. yelle choosing to work her magic with them and that paralleling how she chooses to think about other people is such a great character choice

“should i cast lightning again at the skeleton?”

“NO!”

“it’s just an idea”

ahhhh Sephie is the coolest and i love her Sam!!

“i think we as a group need to heighten our standards a little bit”

“not all of us has been quarantined with a partner, okay!??”

i love this group of people so much!! they’re friends!! and they razz each other!!

(the lil look brennan and izzy gave each other, and izzy’s zip motion across her mouth is so cute 🥺)

this!! this was the first thing i thought of when penny said that nobody needs a rogue.

riz, trying to be the Best Investigator because even if they don’t need a rogue they sure as hell need that. riz, who cares about people so much he will tear his hands apart to get to them, but still sees his value in being useful above else

penny who strives for the best and achieves the most because nobody really needs a rogue and riz who works hard to make himself useful so his friends won't leave

the conversation between sam and penelope is Gutting. the simple fact that they know each other down to their bones, and knows perfectly what to say and how to say it in order to hurt each other the most. neither of them willing to let the mean girl facade slip even when one of them is in Literal Hell is just…shiver inducing.

penelope, who delights in pain!!! and sam, who does not!!!! my god, persephone and brennan acted the hell out of this scene

sobbing at danielle’s conversation with her tree mom. erika is so good at what they do!!

jawbone!!! i missed that voice, and that comforting, accepting cadence<333

but also, oof, penny is very very relatable here as a high-strung, anxious perfectionist who Cannot Handle It All anymore

aabriya absolutely Yeeting rekha’s dice (both times!!) is inspirational

this jones sibling energy!!!

antiope clearing out a full classroom AND overriding her older, actual teacher sister with one sentence is Big Leader Energy. whether she wants it to be or not

EDIT: corsica saying the same thing after just vindicates me so much <333
